Hi there. I need to use my phone for work, but want to isolate anything that is work related. Whatโ€™s the recommended way of doing so these days? Found the Foss app called Shelter, but found it to be a bit buggy and seems to have been a while since previous update. Let me know about any tips or recommendations regarding this! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Looks like itโ€™s only on the play store and GitHub, you could use obtainium. But itโ€™s not been updated since 2023 apparently.

There is a maintained fork of Island on F-Droid, called Insular:

Island doesnt block main profile contact snooping by an app in the work profile. I recommend shelter for anyone who isnt set on either.
